St. James' Church, Baroque parish church in Ljubljana, Slovenia
The church exhibits architectural elements with a main entrance portal, stone side altars, and a prominent single belfry reaching high above the city.
Built between 1613 and 1615 by Jesuits, the structure replaced a Gothic church and underwent substantial reconstruction following the 1895 Ljubljana earthquake.
The interior contains numerous stone altars created by Venetian artists, including Angelo Putti, Jacopo Contieri, and Francesco Robba, displaying regional artistic influences.
The church maintains regular opening hours for religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its baroque architecture and historical artifacts.
The octagonal Chapel of St. Francis Xavier features plasterwork influenced by Venetian designs and contains statues representing Europe and Africa.
